Fucking hell beef there is no going back now,
Almost there tho, lets hope this panel moves along and gets to you asap.
If id of known the shell was in such a bad way id of ran a mile, but live and learn and at least it is getting done as it should be now.

I thought we had sorted the rear panel situation. did it not fit?
glad the rear quarter arrived, there would have been a big gap if it didnt.
